Peaty's Holeshot Biofibre Sealant

It's my go to.

i use peatys. never got on with stans. 

Peatys works a lot better now than the original formula. I will use either but prefer stans and tend to only go for Peatys if I can’t find any deals on stans about. 
The one downside of it is that if you like to swap tyres fairly regularly it’s a lot messier to clean up than stans.

BTW tredz had the 200ml bottles of stans for around half price so I bought half a dozen of those to keep me going.

After years of using Stans this is now my go to. It tends to be cheaper per ml than most.

Just be aware that whilst Stans seems to be based on a principle of sloshing around until it is sucked into a puncture, Peaty's like to coat the inside of the tyre more, to get pulled into punctures more locally hence:

The one downside of it is that if you like to swap tyres fairly regularly it’s a lot messier to clean up than stans.

But it does seem very good to me. It also has an odd sort of luminescence under bike lights, so it is easier to spot on a tyre - maybe allowing you to plug a pinch hole before the tyre comes out of the rim hooks. Maybe.

I've been using Peaty's for a while after previously using Stans for years and then having a brief but disappointing flirtation with Muc-Off (about as effective as using water).

I can't say how well it works as I've never had any (known) punctures with it, but it doesn't smell awful like Stans which is a plus.

I'll happily buy more when it runs out.

Re cleaning out of a tyre - a good blast with a hydroshot seems to do the trick. Messy, but effective.

One of the reasons I don't get on with orange Seal is I found it would always coat the inside of the tyre and dry out really fast, so you'd always have a dried layer of sealant doing nothing but adding weight and mess inside the tyre - is that the case here? Or it just coats the tyre but stays wet?

In my experience (I've been using it for about a year, I think) it has stayed wet through the warm, dry summer we have had.

But there are a heck of a lot of variables within that, obviously.

IIRC Schwalbe's branded sealant (doc blue?) is just Stans in another bottle, and can be cheaper

It definitely doesn’t dry out but does leave a thin coating on the tyre which isn’t really a problem. It’s just with stans I can scoop out the majority of it to stick in the other tyre, leave a bit of blue roll in the bottom and it’s all absorbed give it a quick wipe and is pretty clean and ok to be stored until summer/winter.
Cleaning Peatys out of the tyre is like cleaning up sick, it feels like you’re just pushing it around rather than cleaning it up. It is a minor annoyance though and when the stans runs out and isn’t on offer I’ll use Peatys. 

Got it... yeah, I don't mind a bit of mess if it's doing the job, Orange seal i was just throwing money away as it never sealed anything

I know you didn't ask but the Oko Hi Fibre is excellent, and also very cheap. It's water based and water soluble so you can dilute/top it up with water, it's quite thick so for lighter duty thinning it a little can work well, but also it means you can prevent it from ever drying out just by topping it off occsaionally. (you can't "re-soften" it once it dries out, you can only keep it wet, though). And it works about as well as any sealant I've used. The main downside it has is the same as any sealant that isn't stans and isn't the same chemistry- you can get stans anywhere, you might not be able to get your chosen product in an emergency, and you generally can't mix.

I do wonder if Oko make the Peatys- they do make Halo and Uberbike sealant (literally the same product) and Nutrak (a slightly different sealant) and the fact that Peatys says "made in the uk" and is all about the fibres kind of suggests it. But I don't think it's the same stuff.

I think peatys is garbage, its the only sealant that always seems to fail on me, it blocks valves and turns everything blue. Ive gone back to stans.

Whereas I find that, despite injecting Peatys through the valve but tipping in Stans, it is Stans that blocks valves more.

Horses for courses, I think.

Why would you pour stans but inject peatys? Ive found unless you use a really wide mondified syringe it wont inject, where as stans will go through any standrad syringe.

Just squirt Peatys in from the wee trail bag, and top the bag up from a bottle. I did 6 wheels the other night, 2 gravel bikes, one road bike. 6 monthly top ups, a third of a bag per wheel. Took a whole half hour in total. 

After years of using Stan’s, both std and race, I decided to give Peaty’s a go.  God it’s awful.  It stinks, it’s sticky (it’s basically PVA glue) and on tight tyres, that stickiness  stopped the tyres popping onto the rim.  As soon as the Peaty’s was removed and the rims/tyres were cleaned, they popped right on.  

Never again.

Because Peaty's comes with the squeezy bottle and hose thing. Stans doesn't.

I'm all about convenience much of the time. 🤷‍♂️

I hated peatys bio fibre. Used it in the gravel bike and constantly had it spewing out of small cuts say 1to 2mm. Left awful blue and glitter residue everywhere and messed up a couple of rides. I accept it may be due to my particular circumstances as others have no problems and reviews are good.
